According to clause 9.7.2.4, when an opening is located within the 0.8De region of a dished end but close to its boundary (i.e., near the De/10 distance from the knuckle), the reinforcement area may be insufficient if the calculation is limited to...

The TEMA 11th Edition was released in 2023, but it has not yet been integrated into AutoPIPE Vessel. I kindly request that this feature be added at the earliest opportunity.

Currently, AutoPIPE Vessel uses a default air density of 1.225 kg/m³ for wind load calculations. However, air density can vary based on the geographic location of the equipment. Therefore, I request that this value be made an input parameter inste...

MDMT Calculation for the floating head components (cap, flange, split ring, floating tubular plate, etc.) does not appear only external body MDMT calculated. Please add MDMT Calculation for the floating head components

We have a pressure vessel that must be designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1. However, for full face gasket flanges, the software by default performs the calculations according to PD 5500 (Slip-on loose flange – BS/PD 5500 §3.8...

Implement FFS as per API 579. Parts of API 579 include: 1 – Introduction 2 – FFS Engineering Evaluation Procedure 3 – Brittle Fracture 4 – General Metal Loss 5 – Localized Metal Loss 6 – Pitting Corrosion 7 – Blisters, HIC, and SOHIC Damage ...

When calculating earthquakes for pressure equipment, need to add design according to paragraph 3.2.2.5 of EN 1998-1. This would allow the design to consider a reduced design spectrum relative to the elastic range.

When selecting the wind code in Autopipe Vessel v45.00.02.004, it is not possible to select the EN 1991 code with British National Annex (BS EN 1991), but there is only an option to select the EN 1991 code. The British national annex provides ...

A tall vessel or column is normally designed with a particular liquid level. It would be very helpful if a new user case can be defined allowing to calculate full of liquid (which is not water, it is not the same as hydrotest).

Currently only full penetration welded nozzle can be designed, this feature will enable users to design and perform nozzle opening reinforcement calculations for partial penetration nozzle weld.
